2nd Sunday of Lent
‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’
First Reading Genesis 12:1-4 All the tribes of the earth shall bless themselves by you
‘I will bless those who bless you: I will curse those who slight you. All the tribes of the earth shall bless themselves by you.’
So Abram went as the Lord told him.
Responsorial Psalm: May your love be upon us, O Lord, as we place all our hope in you.
Second Reading 2 Timothy 1:8-10 God calls and enlightens us
With me, bear the hardships for the sake of the Good News, relying on the power of God who has saved us and called us to be holy – not because of anything we ourselves have done but for his own purpose and by his own grace. This grace had already been granted to us, in Christ Jesus, before the beginning of time, but it has only been revealed by the Appearing of our saviour Christ Jesus. He abolished death, and he has proclaimed life and immortality through the Good News.
Gospel Matthew 17:1-9 His face shone like the sun
Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain where they could be alone. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them. ‘Stand up,’ he said ‘do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but only Jesus.
As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order, ‘Tell no one about the vision until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.
My Father, my God, I thank you for your blessings. Make me understand your words. To obey your commandments. Father, I can do nothing without your help. Jesus, I trust in you. Transform me Lord. Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. My angel guardian, pray for me. Pray the Rosary.

LA PROCLAMATION
DE LA VIE ET DE L'IMMORTALITÉ
« Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui
j'ai mis tout mon amour ; écoutez-le !»
Évangile Matthieu 17,1-9 «Son visage devint brillant comme le
soleil»
Six jours après, Jésus prend avec lui
Pierre, Jacques et Jean son frère, et il les emmène à l'écart, sur une haute
montagne. Il fut transfiguré devant eux; son visage devint brillant comme le
soleil, et ses vêtements, blancs comme la lumière. Voici que leur apparurent
Moïse et Élie, qui s'entretenaient avec lui. Pierre alors prit la parole et dit
à Jésus: «Seigneur, il est heureux que nous soyons ici! Si tu le veux, je vais
dresser ici trois tentes, une pour toi, une pour Moïse et une pour Élie» Il
parlait encore, lorsqu'une nuée lumineuse les couvrit de son ombre; et, de la
nuée, une voix disait: «Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai mis tout
mon amour; écoutez-le!». Entendant cela, les disciples tombèrent la face contre
terre et furent saisis d'une grande frayeur. Jésus s'approcha, les toucha et
leur dit: «Relevez-vous et n'ayez pas peur!». Levant les yeux, ils ne virent
plus que lui, Jésus seul.
En descendant de la montagne, Jésus leur
donna cet ordre: «Ne parlez de cette vision à personne, avant que le Fils de
l'homme soit ressuscité d'entre les morts».
Mon Père, mon Dieu, Je te remercie pour tes bienfaits. Fais-moi comprendre tes paroles et obéir à tes commandements. Père, je ne peux rien faire sans ton aide. Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Transforme-moi, Seigneur. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Mon ange gardien, priez pour moi. Priez le Rosaire,
